Itissiontries ate prohibited from holding religious meetings and !slivering religious discourses ; and that none but the Parochial astgy and superior Eeelesinstiesil Authorities shall be permitted n distribute religious writings." The Allgemeine Zeitung of the IGth inst., received morning, contains the following *article upon the navigation of the Rhine : , FROM THE mini', NOV.I v. . _ The Note of the Dutch Government respecting the navigation of the Rhine, is called, in several German journals, a document of the highest importance to Germany. But, in truth, it is not important to either German navigation or German commerce, because the greatest obstacle to, both remains unchanged. It is however so far interesting, as it shows that the steps hitherto taken by Austria, England, Russia, and Prussia, to induce the Netherlands to execute the Vienna Convention are fruitless, and that the Netherlands Government has sought a new excuse to make it be believed, that dating from the Ist April next year it will carry into effect the Vienna Convention for the navigation of the Rhine. The only concessions are, that the Leek, which is choked with sand, is to be considered as the Dutch Rhine, that our ships rosy navigate it unmolested, that no more duties shall be exacted than on the other parts of the'Rhine, and that the prohibitions 'of transit shall be abolished. The first is impeding the naviga tion, fur two-thirds of the water carried down by the Rhine into Holland, are received into the Wail , • and a fourth of the remain ing third, by the Yasel. We may judge, therefore, bow much water remains for the free Dutch Rhine ; and it was, therefore, pro- P°*ed at the. Vienna Congress, that both the Waal and the Lech should be considered as the Dutch Rhine. The second has been long since promised by the Dutch Government to the Commis loners at Mayence, and is in fact, no more than the cessation of the higher duties illegally levied in Holland. The last point, al: lowing the free transit, removes the prohibitions existing in fa vtair of the Dutch trade, and permits the free trade, which the Gorman shippers may carry on with each other on the Dutch Rhine, for they may henceforward go without difficulty as far as Oa sea. But there they stick fast as in a sack, till they have paid the export duty fixed by Holland at its own pleasure, and which TtY he so high oar come goods as to be equivalent to a prohibition. If they will not do this they will be at liberty to go home again, wilco they think it best that they may not have made their voyage in vain, to sell their goods to the Dutch for the small price which the latter shall please to give. This is new freedom of the Navi gation of the Rhine to the sea ; the Dutch statesmen on the other h and, wish their ships to navigate the whole Rhine, free from all atsplos, to bring Colonial produce to the bosom of every German' state, and to take back their produce for the Dutch trade be- , Yond the sea. A most promising eonceasion truly ! • Piedmontesa Gazettes to the 12th November have been received this morning ; they merely announce the recovery of Lord GUILFOItD, at Corfu, from his . in disposition contracted at Venice, and the . great joy diffused among the students and lonians by that happy event. On the 7th of this month, their Sardinian MAJESTIES, accompanied by the Court, embarked at Turin for Nice, where they arrived on the following day. We received this afternoon, by, express, the Etoik dated yesterday; but its contents are neither interesting important The following letter from Greece, if true, may be, looked on as more favourable than recent communications from that quarter, but all the good it hold s out is only prospective as yet : Iv A recent letter from Napoli, dated Sept. 20, and addressed to EYnard, communicates some particulars respecting Greece. The greatest part are already known, but the following passage seems to merit particular,attention. M.

Mr. KNIGHT said his Lordship would recollect having taken a great deal of,pitins in this case before the vacation, from having made a very elaborate statement of what oc curred to hun upon the several parts of it. It was the Court's wish, then,.that after Counsel had considered that statement, they would make any further observations that might occur to them. The Learned Counsel had; in pur suance, with Mr. ROUPEL, now to state their sentiments; and he thought if the Court would allow the case to be appointed for some early day, that such statement might be made by them in the presence of the gentlemen on the other side he thOught what they had to say would put a short end to the whole subject in contest. His LORDSHIP desired it to stand for the last day of term (Tuesday next) BOWES 'V. STRATIJMORN. • His LORDSIIIP ..had read the petition in this case, but he felt unable to say anything about it until he knew whe- ' ther two orders that had been sometime ago made, ought to stand. Those orders directed the rents of certain es tates, as well as certain dividends, to be paid to the Earl of Strathmore and Lord Glammis during their lives ; if such orders had been properly made, they would have to stand; if improperly, some steps would have to be taken to alter them, and , upon the test of the correctness of those orders, the present application would greatly depend. Mr. HoRNE assured the Court that he would get his client to inform him of the nature of the orders, &c. and then he would mention the thing again to his Lordship. GOODSON V. ELLISON. Mr. HORNE stated that this was a case that had under gone a great deal of discussion before the recess, upon an appeal from the judgment of the Master of the Rolls, 4on a question of title; it stood over to ,be mentioned again by one Counsel on a side. His Lordship's avocations, however, prevented its having been yet brought on again, 'and as it pressed very much, he had now to apply to bare a time Rppointed for'hearing it. Mr, KNIGHT, contra, was not aware that it was to be spoken to by one Counsel on a side only. Mr. HORNE did not wish to hare it restricted to that, though he certainly understood that to have been the Lord Chancellor's wish. His LORDSHIP recollected the case. It was a motion in the nature of an appeal, and after all that had been said in it before, he thought that one counsel on a side would be quite enough now. He desired it to come on at the first Seal. ADVANCING CASES.-TINDAL v. SMITH. Mr. UORNE was instructed to bring this case to his Lordship's notice, for the purpose of getting it advanced. It was an appeal. The decree made in the case was pro nounced in the year 1822, against the defendant, who was very far advanced in age, directing her to account; the plaintiff had been proceeding almost ever since in the Master's office, fighting with • every difficulty that could possibly be thrown in his way. The Master had "now made his report, and, as a further impediment, the defendant had appealed against it, and the plaintiff was under the necessity of craving his Lordship's indulgence ' to have the appeal heard speedily, otherwise he would be in danger of losing all hawk of the cause. His LonnsulP desired to be furnished with the papers, which he would read without delay. Mr. HART said he had instructions to make applications to have the hearing of half a dozen of cases advanced on various grounds—very pressing grounds—which lie had refused to comply with; .but, if other people were to make such applications, and to be successful in thew too, he did not know why he should.not try his hand. • The Loith CHANCELLOR said he would be as glad to do any thing he was asked to do, for Mr. Hart as for any body, but he would not say yes to - any application of this kind, be it made by who it might, until he himself had read the papers, and found that such application ought to be complied with. pened shortly after. It was also alleged that deceased lived on good terms with his family, but on very bad terms with his wife, who manifestly wanted affection for him. — It was state d, that after the death of the deceased, the widow had. conducted - herself .indecently, saying to a person who spoke to her on the subject of the testator's property, "Do you think I would have lost any time with an old man like him, without getting any thing by him." In addition to these 'particulars it was stated that Mrs. Collins had declared there was no will in existence five days after the date of the will propounded. The COURT considered all the articles admissible but those relating to the declarations of the widow subsequent to the death of the testator, which were too trifling to be admitted as evidence. . LORD DIASSY V. UASSY AND OTHERS. The Hon. and Rev. Mr. Massy, of Ilchester, died in the commencement of the present year, leaving his entire .pro petty, amounting to about 7,000!. to his elderbrother Lord Massy, to the exclusion of his other brothers and sisters. The testament now propounded was informal as the testa tor's name was not signed to it. It was also admitted that he laboured under some very singular delusions on religious subjects;, but,, nevertheless, as the disposition of property made in the paper propounded, was in strict accordance with the declared intentions of the deceased, before and after its execution, and as it was drawn up tinder his ex press direction, the Court held that it was a valid will, and accordingly granted the administration to Lord Massy.- 7 The Court then adjourned. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—(Tnis DAY-) JUDGMENTS ON SMUGGLERS. Wm. S,ww, -Wm. Harrington, and Win. Hone, who had suffered judgment by default, on an iuformation filed by the late Attorney-General against them, fur co nspiring to bribe a man in the Preventive Service, on the coast of Sussex, to allow them to smuggle, goods, and who had been brought.up for judgment on Thursday last (vide the Sun of that day), were this day brought up again, and sentenced—Snow and Hone to be imprisoned for 18 mouths, and Harrington for 15 months, and give security for good behaviour for three years. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. Scaatrre moved fora rule to show cause why criminal information should not be filed against John Wilinhurst, Mayor of Warwick, iir Charles Greville, K.C.B„ M.P., and 8 other Alder men of that Borough. By the Charter of that. Borough, the Mayor and 12 Aldermen are bound to proceed to the election of a Mayor on the 29th of September. It appeared that some years ago, one man had continued for seven years in that office, and was called the seven years' Mayor. The present Mayor was elected in 1824, and has continued since in that office. Two of the Aldermen, Will. Collins and Richard Morns, protested all along against such proceedings, but the subject of their complaint on this occasion was what took place on the 29th of Sept. last. These two gave due I notice to the other Aldermen, to attend on tha t da y , for the pur pose' of electing a Mayor, notwithstanding which, not one of them attended, though they were all in town and attended the Mayor's dinner in the afternoon ; the consequence of which was, that the election could not take place, and the late Mayor still continued to hold the office, as he was obliged to do, until a new one be elected ; he (Mr. Scarlett) was aware that they could he compelled to elect a new Mayor by a mandamus ; but his ob ject in the present application was to bring the parties before the Court, and to show that they refrained from the election by con cert.—Rule grented. A NEW WAY OF MAKING LOVE. THE KING P. NEWMAN. The prosecutrix in this case (Elizabeth Mills) is a very rich lady residing in the suburbs of Gloucester ; the defendant is a dashing whiskerandos, of a gentlemauly exterior. It appeared that on the night of the 10th of December last, a great number of young men assembled in the vicinity of the pro secutrix's house, and amused themselves in letting off squibs, and indulging in other kinds of fire-works, from eight o'clock in the afternoon, until one in the morning ; among whom the defendant took a prominent part, to the great annoyance of the prosecutrix and several others of her family, fur which he was tried at the Gloucester Sessions, and acquitted. The prosecutrix, not satisfied therewith, subsequently indicted him for a conspiracy to excite a riot, and had the indictment removed by a certiorari into the Court of King's Bench. It was tried at the last Assiies in Gloucester, before Mr. Justice Burrough, and the defendant was found guilty, and brought up this day to receive judgment. He put in an affidavit, denying having been actuated by malice towards Miss Mills, or having any intention'to annoy her. Mr. \Verso; addressed the Court in mitigation of punishment. He observed, that the offence of letting oil fire-works was of a ,trifling gators- In the reign of William the Third there was en paseed t 'punishing such an (Mime, with a fine 4)f wily Vos. , Mr. TAUNTON for the post-ennui], observed that the trial would not have been proceeded in if the defendant had made an apology, and entered into recognizances not to annoy tine prose cutrix for the future. He was convicted of a gross, wanton, lend unprovoked outrage on a lady of whom lie had no previous know ledge whatever. The judgment of the Court, he hoped, would make the defendant enter into recognizaucea nut to annoy the pro secutrix for the future. Mr. Jusrlce BAILEY in passing the sentence of the Court, dressed the prisoner and said he had been convicted of a very un manly offence, in creating a tumult at a house inhabited solely by females. Ile had stated in his affidavit, that he did not go there for the purpose of annoying the prosreutrix, but lie did not give any reason for his having been there ; if he did not go there to annoy her, it was evident that he lent his assistance to those who were annoying her. The sentence of the Court was, that he pay to the King a fine of 1001. and give sureties himself in 1001. and two sureties in 501. each,' to keep did peace for three years towards the prosecutrix. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. LORD WILLIAM. LENNOX AND THE PALLADIUM. Mr. DENMAN moved for a rule to show cause why criminal in formation should not be filed against W. Blenerhaseet Fairman, the printer, publisher, and proprietor of a Sunday newspaper called the Palladium, for having published a libel on Lord W. Lennox, Captain of the Blues. The prosecutor stated in, his affidavit that he has been for some time back ea.-Ailed in a series of paragraphs in that paper, and among others in a suing which appeared in a number of last Sunday, dedicated, without permission, to Lord William Lennox and others, but the subject ofhispres w en h t ichte com plainth appeared in two paragraphs of the sense paper, o f first was as follows : Seconn EDITION.—The Court of Inquiry, we are assured, have acquitted Lord Wit.mast `Lennox; and the Hs ao of Wa:raat.on, it is confidently stated, has signified his approval of their opinion. At this we are not surprised ; and, for the honour of a noble race, we are rejoiced at the result. The opinion of the Court was read, we un di rstan a, at a subscription-house in St. James's-itreet, last night.— Colonels Hill, Hamner, and Bouverie were the mem hers. In our next Number, the full particulare of the investigation shall be laid before• our readers. For the present we must refer them to a short paragraph in another part of this day's impression, not having room for more upon this subject. Lord William will publish, in all probability, his own statement of the circumstances. The following is the paragraph alluded to COURT Or INQUIRY, ROYAL HORSE GUARDS (BLUE), ON , LORD (let. Our time trill not allow tis to go into detail, but fte articles reflected on his character both as a magistrate and as a gentleman .and were calculated to bring him into cautempt.— Rule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY.) GILLET V. JACICSOL The plaintiff in this case was the assignee of a bankrupt, who was indebted to the plaintiff's attorney. The bankrupt's estate was a creditor of the defendant's to the extent of upwards of 21., being the value of a wheel-barrow lent to him by the bankrupt, and which be never returned. When the attorney consulted with the plaintiff about the means of recovering his debt against the bankrupt, he (the plaintiff) authorised him to prosecute some of the bankrupt's debtors in his (plaintiff's) name. Under this authority the attorney instituted the present action. Mr. Sergeant Warm this day appeared in opposition to a rule obtained by the defendant, to chew cause why the proceedings should not be set aside, and the plaintiff's Attorney appointed to pay the expellees to the defendant, or his attorney. The rule was granted ou the defendant's application, supported by en affidavit of the plaintiff, in which he denied having given authority to iu ' stitute the action. Mr. Sergeant Wilde, boweYer, contended that although the plaintiff's Attorney had not given instructions to raise this particular action, the general authority granted by him was sufficient ; and that, therefore, the rule should be .discharged. Mr. Sergeant Tannv was for the defendant, and admitted that his client had still possession of the wheelbarrow. The Court ordered the defendant to deliver up the wheelbarrow, and allow the question of expeuces to rest. 'They, however, strongly reprobated the cause adopted by the plaintiff's Attorney. COCKERILL V. CHOLMELEY. Mr. HART replied in this case to the observations made on a former day, which reply occupied the time of the Court till it broke up. His LORDSHIP said, it was a bill brought for am injunc tion to restrain the defendant from taking possession of an estate, under a verdict at law, in his favour. Ile felt bound to take it, that that verdict had been properly pronounced, and therefore the question was, whether there were equit able grounds enough in the case to authorise the Court's saying, by its injunction, that that possession should not be taken ? Notwithstanding the arguments in the case had occupied several days, his Lordship could not dispose of the above question until he had further information com municated to him. The facts he wished to have further stated, related to the execution of some deed at law. Coun sel are to bring the case on again, when they can furnish the information required. • VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT—(Tins DAY.) The Court was occupied this morning in hearing ar. ments in a cause which was of interest only to the parties, , . PREROGATIVE COURT.--Tars DAY: (liefere Sir JOHN NICHOLL.) Dr. LEsIIINGTON moved that .probate should be granted on a will and codicil left by John Anderson, deceased ; in the manner in which the will and 'codicil were left by the testator. Dr. JENNER did not object to the Court granting pro bate on the will anti codicil, but he respectfully submitted, that the latter contained some words which conveyed a most serious and unjust imputation on a person named Rose. The instrument alleged, that Mr. Rose hail feloni ously taken a bond from the testator's house. There was not the slightest ground he understood for such an asser don, and he thought. the Court would exercise a whole some discretion by, expunging the objectionable sentence. Dr. LUsIIINGToN replied, that the Court had never assumed authority to alter the words in a will left by a I person deceased. In the case of Lady Vernon, although both parties agreed, Sir 'W. Wynn refused to omit or alter the testator's words; and in a subsequent case, there had been it similar decision. The COURT conceived that it would be a most unpre cedented course, to assume authority to alter the language of a testament, but in the present case it seemed that the words objected to, were contained not in a codicil to the will, but in a rough draft of it, from which the will I now produced was subsequently drawn. Under those circum 7 stances the case might stand 'over until the next Court day, in order that evidence might be adduced, to prove whether the instrument containing the word felonious, was a codicil, or only the draft of a will. • IN THE GOODS OF Silt JAMES LEITH, KNT. was ranted in this cage on the last Court dayA,dtomiiitr two creditors i i tors of the deceased, his son and only sur viving heir, being resident in the East Indies, and having neglected to take out letters of administration to his fa ther's property. Sir JoiiN NIEIIOLL said, that upon considering thii case, he was of Opinion, that as 'Captain Leith was not n party to the a ppli ca tion, and could not receive notice of the in.. , tention o f t h e cre ditors, before adminis t rat ion was g ranted to them, they must give security, for the due execution of this trust iii ,order that Payment o f t h e testator ' s debts, might be, forthcoming at any time for it. that Captain Leith made application the widow of In t l h N ia llia 400 HS Or SAMUEL COLLINS, DECEASED.. ca se a will was propounded by Lydia Collins, the d , the having been sworn decease 6001.

The Court was occupied nearly all the morning with the cause o CIOVTREY V. PICKIRING. The question was concerning the validity of certain modusses paid in lieu of tithes belonging t. 9 the Vicarage of Melton Mow bray. It was not decided when we went to press. HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, Nov. 22. SLAVE DEALING.—THE MALTA. This was a suit promoted by a person named Walker, the Mate of the Malta. It. will be recollected that the Malta was con demned at Sierra Leone, upon a charge made against James Young (the Captain) for acting in contravention of the British law, by selling four women of colour as slaves, whilst the vein.' was lying in the river Danger. The Captain was sent home for trial upon the capital charge, and the seamen were discharged without payment of their wages. The mate was a principal witness against the Captain on his trial at the last Admiralty Sessions, and the owners of the Malta now refused to pay him the amount of wages, on the ground that when the vessel was seized, the responsibility of the owners was at emend. Dr. LUSHIINGTON, on the part of the Mate, submitted that the seizure of the vessel was , occasioned by the misconduct of their, servant, and that the Mate was no party to the illegal transaction. lie contended, it was monstrous to suppose that the owners were absolved from all responsibility, because the vessel was seized for being engaged in an illegal traffic. Lord STowit.t. thought the Mate's Petition ought to be rep ceived, this decision, lie said, did not at all affect the merits of the case. LA PETITE VICTOIRE. In this cue an attachment was applied for against Mr Horse. ford, a Magistrate of Weymouth, for contempt of Court. The alleged offence was said to be committed on a person named Yates, who had a warrant to seize upon the French ship La Petite Vier toire, until a question of salvage could be decided. Yates made affidavit, that as he was about to enter the valet to put a man in possession, Mr. Horseford pushed him off the plank. In opposition to this affidavit others were put in, which went to prove that Mr. Horseford had only acted as a Magistrate, to prevent a breach of the peace, and theft it was the French Captain who pushed Yates off the plank. Answers were put in to the effect that Mr. Horseford was the agent of the vessel, and had threatened the sailors, who were Portland seamen, that,if they libelled the ship in the Admiralty Court be would give them enough of it. The case stands over to the next Court day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-110USE.7(THIs DAT.) On Monday last, a most respectable young gentleman, named Win, was brought before his Lordship, on the charge of stealing several Medical books, the property of the Medical Society, in bolt-court, Fleet-street. Mr., James Field, secretary to the Medical Society, deposed, that ht the month of May last the prisoner, who was his appren tice, went to see his friends in Cornwall, and on the day fol lowing his leaving town, another apprentice, uamed AVAllister, absconded ; a number of the books of the Society wire missing from the library, and the prisoner's box being broken open and Searched, several of them were therein found, the Society's mark bad been obliterattO, and it was afterwards discovered that the prisoner had sold two volumes et Mr. Stroud's, khookseller,' in the Illackfriars-road, for two volumes of " Ilcur)'s Chemistry." David Stroud deposed that he knew the prisoner, and Corrobo rated Mr. Field's statement with respect to. the exchange of the hooks. _ . _ The prisoner was again brought up for examination this day, and Mr. TIIESSIORR attended on his behalf. He ex.: ,amined Mr. Field at great length. Mr. Field said that he was to receive a premium with the prisoner, but the whole of it had not yet been paid ; the other apprentice absconded immediately after the prisoner left town.

He wrote to the prisoner to con►c back to his situation, tint did not offer to destroy the Wen tore, or assign hin► to another person, on receipt of 1001. He had once seen the prisoner iu town, and did not give him into custody. Dr. Wlntyre bad called on hint on this subject several times, and told him that the prisoner was prepared to meet the charge. lie did net tell him that he had no intention to prosecute the p►'i soner. He had dined with Mr. Win, the prisoner's Adler, at. the. London Coffee-house, but did not , state tbat h►e only wanted looney. The Loan MAYOR on remanding the prisoner until Wednes• day next, remarked that he had nothing to do with the motive►► of the parties prosecuting. He regretted very much that it was his duty to commit so respectable a young man ►ts the prisoner. : Mr. Thessiger suggested, that perhaps his Lordship would admit the prisoner to bail, under the new Act of Parliament. The Lord Mivoa said, that under the eircumstauces of the Owe, it was his duty to remand the prisoner for the further inves tigation of the case. FASHIONABLE TNT'ELLIGENCE.

The "historical Drama" of Deaf awl Dumb wet revived at this Theatre last night, on which occasion . Miss J. Scott took Miss Dc Camp's original part of Julio. The pi e ce throughout was strongly east, comprising the names of Young, C. Kimble, and Warde, but as it is exclusively modelled on the tinsel senti ments of the French school, we doubt much whether (since the decline of mere sentimental dramas) it will keep up its once noto rious popularity. The principal feattire in the whole play is de cidedly Miss Scott's Julio, which, with a little less redundancy of action, will,no doubt prove serviceable to the treasury of the Theatre. The house was well attended. ADELPHI THEATRE. On Monday night a new Comic Wahl, in one Act, entitled 23, John-street, Adelphi, and mainly assisted by the individual exertions of Yates, as Mr. Thomas , Tomikins, its hero, was pro duced for the first time, to the gratification of the most nu merous audience we have yet xv.ittitifetil at this agreeable little Theatre. The plot is slight, and consists. in the mistakes of Mr. Tainkins, who fancies that he has created an interest in the heart of a Lady crazy : wife to a jealous Gentleman of the same cogno men. Indueoned by his meets her under very whim sical circumstances, fur which he is challenged by the husband; ultimately, however, the mistakes are all satisfactorily cleared up, an d the parties made mutually happy. The piece was reesived throughout with unqualified approbation, and, we bevel no doubt, will he a lasting favourite with the public. We have heard that the King will be here on Wed nesday next. For the accuracy of this information wit cannot undertake to vouch, but we have strong reason for believing (although it is probable that at this moment nothing is actually decided) that his Majesty will be at Brighton in * eourtie of the ensuing fortnight. There have been certain reparations going for Ward al - the Pavilion, which seem strongly to indicate the re turn of the King; the Royal , Chapel has been cleaned and got in readiness, and there have been several arrangements of minor im portance, but all betokening au increased activity which warrants us in indulging . the hope of a speedy visit (row Royalty.
